Everyone loves Tom Hanks. This is fact. Not loving Tom Hanks is Step 1 to letting the terrorists win. So it should come as no surprise that T.Hanks has become a champion internet-baiter over the years. Unlike, say, a Will Ferrell though Tom Hanks' internet-baiting isn't always fully aware. Some of it even required no effort of his own (THAT WE KNOW OF). It all just happens in that genuine Tom Hanks sort of way and that's why he's the best.

He was a consenting adult last night when he appeared on Fallon and performed a slam poem about Full House. I mean, that sentence is pretty much the definition of internet-baiting. And since it's the most recent entry it makes #10 on this list.

When you're promoting something as weird as Cloud Atlas you gotta get weird. That's like movie marketing 101. On to the rest...

Tom Hanks doesn't actually have anything to do with the parody artist known as Hanksy (OR ARE THEY THE SAME PERSON?!?!) but the emergence of the grafitti pun master has only further cemented the beloved ones place in web culture.
